Chapter 10 Chapter 10 "Sister, be more obedient."...
Outside the window, the rain curtain is like silver threads, and the bamboo shadows are rustling and mottled.
The person sitting in front of the couch was covered in moisture, and his face could not be seen clearly in the darkness.
But the faint fragrance of Shuya made her know that it was Yunqin.
Jiang Daiyi didn't move, and met Yun Qin's gaze in the moonlight coming in through the window.
Her eyes sparkled as she called him softly, "Brother?"
Jiang Daiyi rubbed her forehead with a headache, obviously she didn't get enough sleep.
Yunqin comforted her: "Sleep in the carriage for a while."
Jiang Daiyi was puzzled: "Where are you taking me, brother?"
"Qiliang Mountain."
Jiang Daiyi: "Qiliangshan?"
She was a little confused. She had been thinking about how to let Yunqin go to Qiliang Mountain before his internal strength recovered. She didn't expect that he would go there by himself now.
Yun Qin nodded: "Tianque's spies have not yet been eliminated, so it is not appropriate to set off in a grand manner."
Jiang Daiyi recalled that Yun Qin was still questioning her a few hours ago, but now it seemed that this was no longer a problem, and he calmly let her leave with him.
She seemed to be joking: "Brother, aren't you afraid? I am Tianque's spy?"
"Still angry?"
Yunqin obviously didn't take her angry words to heart.
Although his sister is as gentle as jade, she is also stubborn and tenacious, and always holds grudges.
He spoke to her a little harshly this afternoon, and she would probably remember it for a few days.
Jiang Daiyi was silent for a while, then lowered her eyes: "Brother, why did you take me to Qiliang Mountain?"
Yunqin told her the news from the secret guards.
"There is a royal tomb in Qiliang Mountain. There are countless treasures buried with the dead in the tomb. They are priceless. The Yun family needs these treasures."
Jiang Daiyi was not interested and acted as if she didn't want to go. Her tone was slow, long and soft.
"Then Brother, you can just take the secret guards with you. I'll just be a burden. Who knows, if something goes wrong, Brother might start suspecting me again like he did this afternoon, asking all sorts of questions and trying to scare me."
Yun Qin stared at her angry expression and coaxed her, "The elders all have their own things to do. If I leave, you must leave with me. I'm worried about leaving you alone in the mansion."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Daiyi looked at Yun Qin. He looked gentle at the moment, as if the brother who used to put her first in everything had returned.
"Sister, be more obedient."
This sentence reminded Jiang Daiyi of her childhood.
Seven years ago, she was poisoned by Qian Xiang and became deaf and blind, and was thrown into the Yun Mansion.
At that time she could not see or hear and was very uneasy.
She is very alert to her surroundings and will be very scared of anyone or anything that touches her.
She knew that it seemed like many people tried to control her that day. They were patient at first, but after a while, they would give up because of her strong stress reaction.
There was only one person who just let her make a fuss.
He had a faint cold fragrance on his body. Jiang Daiyi was blind for a long time and could only rely on this clear cold fragrance to judge who was taking care of her.
Until the day she was cured by the doctor and her hearing and vision were restored, she wanted to seek revenge on Qian Xiang immediately, but was stopped by someone.
That was the first time she met Yunqin.
Yunqin was tall and thin since childhood. When he entered the house and saw that she had knocked over the medicine bowl, his clear and jade-like eyes showed that he was used to it.
He didn't know that Jiang Daiyi had recovered, and thought she was still scared. He silently bent down to pick up the broken bowls on the ground.
The fragrance on his body was very faint and could not be smelled from a distance, so Jiang Daiyi did not recognize him for a moment.
It was not until Yunqin had cleaned up the broken porcelain and wanted to carry her to the couch as usual, and when he raised his hand and saw the clear eyes and subconscious fear and avoidance in her eyes, that he understood, and he spoke in a soft voice.
"Don't be afraid, I'm your brother."
Jiang Daiyi was full of thorns, and she wouldn't trust anyone at that time.
Yun Qin patiently coaxed her, letting her let down her guard: "No one here will hurt you, sister, just be obedient."
Later, this was the sentence Jiang Daiyi heard the most. The preference for her alone made her feel kindness and warmth for the first time in this strange era.
The moonlight faded, and the faint morning light gradually seeped into the bedroom.
Yunqin's childish face in the past overlaps with his gorgeous and reserved face now.
Jiang Daiyi was filled with mixed emotions and suddenly asked, "Brother, suppose..."
Yun Qin listened to her quietly.
"What would you do if you found out later that I really wasn't your sister?"
Yunqin: "Why do you ask that?"
He said, "These past few days, I was just worried about you getting into an accident, so I kept a close eye on you to protect you. I didn't expect this to cause you to have these vain thoughts."
Jiang Daiyi shook her head, her eyes filled with worry. "No, isn't my brother's recent actions just suspicion that I'm not from the Yun family?"
Yunqin did not deny that he had indeed sent someone to investigate her background.
"Since you doubt me, you shouldn't be with me on everything. That way, maybe I can go about my own business without any worries."
Jiang Daiyi observed Yun Qin's expression, trying to catch the subtle changes in his facial expressions.
But no.
Yun Qin said gently, "You've been feeling a little confused lately. Don't let your thoughts get out of control. Get up and put on your outer clothes. I'll be waiting for you outside."
Jiang Daiyi watched Yunqin walk out of the dormitory. Her originally worried eyes instantly relaxed, and she looked like a lazy cat searching for prey.
It was just dawn when the low-key carriage drove out of Yanling City.
After Jiang Daiyi got on the carriage, she stopped talking to Yun Qin.
Yunqin did not take her directly to Qiliang Mountain, but instead took a detour to Pingqian first.
The Pingqian Qiang family had never had any intersection with the Yanling Yun family. It was not until Jiang Daiyi arrived in front of the Qiang family's mansion that she realized she had arrived in Pingqian first.
According to common sense, the Qiang family and the Yun family should be mortal enemies. After all, the Qiang family was also involved in the suppression of the Yun family back then.
A somewhat familiar female face appeared in Jiang Daiyi's sight.
"Sister Aiai." Qiang Shuining stood at the door and called Jiang Daiyi.
Qiang Shui's brows are like willow leaves, and her eyes are beautiful almond-shaped.
She greeted Jiang Daiyi first, then turned her gaze to Yun Qin, pretending to be happy.
"...Mr. Yunqin."
Yun Qin nodded and saluted from a distance, then took Jiang Daiyi up the stairs.
"Where's your brother?"
Qiang Shuining said, "Brother is waiting for you in the main hall."
Yun Qin nodded and took Jiang Daiyi to the main hall.
Jiang Daiyi followed and walked a few steps. She turned around and looked at Qiang Shuing who was following at the end. Qiang Shuing met Jiang Daiyi's gaze and suddenly smiled at her with a meaningful look in her eyes.
The main hall of Qiang Mansion.
Qiang Wu Yue, dressed in a dark blue robe, sat in the main seat, looking at a portrait.
Hearing footsteps, Qiang Wu Yue put away the portrait and invited Yun Qin and Jiang Daiyi to take a seat.
"Mr. Yun, Miss Yun, long time no see."
Yun Qin asked Jiang Daiyi to sit next to him, which seemed to have a different meaning in Qiang Wu Yue's eyes.
Qiang Wu Yue seemed to be hinting at something: "Mr. Yun treats my sister very well, just as the rumors say. He is very close to her."
He looked like he couldn't leave.
Yun Qin glanced sideways at the girl beside him, nonchalantly.
"My sister is weak, and various forces are eyeing her covetously. I still remember vividly how she was kidnapped by thieves when I was careless in the past."
weak?
Qiang Wu Yue chuckled softly upon hearing this, hinting at something: "But I see that your sister has clear eyes and a bright mind, which is quite different from the average weak woman."
Yun Qin didn't comment, not wanting to discuss Jiang Daiyi with others: "Master Qiang, let's get down to business."
Seeing Yun Qin unwilling to speak further, Qiang Wuyue began to discuss: "I believe that Mr. Yun's willingness to come here means that we can cooperate on the matter of Qiliangshan."
Yun Qin's voice was gentle: "Mr. Qiang knows how to advance and retreat. We will be good partners on this trip."
Jiang Daiyi, who was sitting on the side, listened and glanced at Qiang Wu Yue who was sitting on the throne. She was not aware of the private contact between Qiang Wu Yue and Yun Qin.
If these two people join forces, Tianque will probably not get any good results this time.
"Young Master Yun is very straightforward," Qiang Wuyue praised, "but the conditions mentioned in Young Master Yun's letter..."
Qiang Wu Yue stopped talking halfway and glanced at Jiang Daiyi, signaling Yun Qin to send Jiang Daiyi away.
Yun Qin understood Qiang Wu Yue's hint, but did not act on it. "My sister and I are of the same mind. There is no need to hide anything. Young Master Qiang, please speak frankly."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Daiyi picked up the teacup and took a sip. She felt a little guilty after hearing Yun Qin's words.
Qiang Wu Yue walked down from the main seat and handed the painting he had been holding to Yun Qin for review.
"This is a portrait of Qianxiang, the young master of Tianque. He is a sinister and ruthless man, skilled in disguise. He has a thousand faces, and none of them are ever seen. I sent people to investigate for a long time before finally finding this portrait inside Tianque. It is undoubtedly Qianxiang."
Yun Qin glanced at the person in the portrait calmly, and suddenly asked Jiang Daiyi, who was sitting quietly beside him, "Do you recognize him?"
Jiang Daiyi turned her head and looked carefully, then shook her head: "I haven't seen him."
Qiang Wuyue continued Jiang Daiyi's words, "This person never shows the same face every time he goes on a mission, so it's understandable that Miss Yun doesn't recognize him."
Yunqin told Jiang Daiyi: "Xiaojuncheng, he was the one who poisoned you."
Jiang Daiyi pretended to be surprised and said, "Really? Then brother, you must catch him."
Yun Qin's gentle expression, like a gentle spring breeze, could not be concealed, but his words were filled with murderous intent: "Not only that, I will get rid of him."
Jiang Daiyi was a little surprised. This was the first time that Yun Qin had so directly revealed his desire to get rid of someone in front of her. She caught his inquiring gaze.
Only then did Jiang Daiyi react. No wonder Yun Qin wanted to cooperate with the Qiang family. Qian Xiang had been trained by Lord Que himself for many years, and his martial arts were absolutely invincible. However, Qian Xiang had a weakness. He had only martial arts but no cunning. He was in danger when facing Yun Qin and Qiang Wu Yue, two old foxes.
Jiang Daiyi seemed frightened by Yun Qin's directness just now, and said softly: "For matters like this, it's best for my brother to make the decision."
Qiang Wu Yue noticed the subtle tension between the two and spoke to ease the atmosphere.
"Miss Yun must be exhausted after this long journey. Why don't you two go to the guest room and rest for now? I will discuss this trip with Master Yun later."
Jiang Daiyi hadn't slept well before setting off, and the bumpy carriage made it even harder for her to fall asleep, so she really couldn't open her eyes at this moment. Yun Qin originally wanted to go to the inn, but seeing that the girl next to him was really sleepy, he simply didn't bother her any more.
There are no fewer secret guards in the Qiang Mansion than in the Yun Mansion, so it is very safe here.
So, Jiang Daiyi and Yun Qin went back to their guest rooms to rest.
The study in the Qiang Mansion is simply and elegantly decorated, and looks neat and tidy.
Jiang Daiyi walked in openly, startling Qiang Wu Yue who was reading a letter.
When Qiang Wu Yue saw the person coming, he stood up in a panic and went to close the door.
"You are too blatant."
Jiang Daiyi looked at Qiang Wuyue, who looked completely different now and now, and warned him, "Yunqin is suspicious. Don't let him notice anything unusual."
Qiang Wuyue smiled and said, "Are you afraid of him?"
